Peaches N Cream

Traditionally Peaches And Cream consists of sliced peaches and whipped cream. It is a simple summertime dessert, very popular in the United States and some other countries. A cool and refreshing dessert at a time when juicy, ripe peaches are being picked fresh from the trees. It is usually called peaches n cream. It is also called peaches n cream in my family, when we serve up fresh slices of peaches over a bowl of rich and creamy vanilla ice cream. We also enjoy a bowl of peaches n cream cereal ..when peaches are in abundance...And that just as it sounds, slices of fresh peaches in a bowl of cereal and ice cold milk.

Harvest Of Peaches

The Peach

Peaches are also referred to as stone fruit, this is because the seed of the peach is covered with a shell of hard wood . This is called a stone or pit.

The peach is covered with a fuzzy substance called peach fuzz..Have you ever got peach fuzz on your neck? Not fun! If it doesn't have fuzz, then it is a nectarine.

The inside of the peach is a golden yellow, juicy and full of sticky sweet goodness. The outer layer or the skin is a fuzzy orange and yellow. There are however white peaches that have a whitish color to the inside of the peach.

So gather your peaches and all your ingredients together.

And lets make a pie !

We all love this pie...make sure to allow plenty of refrigerator time so that it sets up nice and you will be able to serve up a pretty and firm slice of pie.

This does look like a good recipe for peaches and cream pie. The recipe doesn't seem all that hard to make. And it's great how this was more than just a recipe and there's even information on growing your own peach tree.
